The Electronic skin rejuvenating device effectively treats eye andfacial skin problems. The warming system effectively relieves eyefatigue and promotes blood circulation. By applying a treatmentadherence plan, the warming system treats eye problems such as darkcircles, eye bags, and edema. In one embodiment, the warming system canpromote the absorption of eye mask and eye cream. In one embodiment, thelight system uses a 660 nanometer (nm) red light or a 415 nm blue lightto produce photochemical effects on tissue and skin and has importantbiological and therapeutic effects. The light system includes a poweroutput between about 2.06 mw/cm² and about 100.00 mw/cm². In oneembodiment, the light system includes about 7 red LEDs and about 7 blueLEDs; alternatively between about 2 red LEDs and 10 red LEDS, andbetween about 2 blue LEDs and 10 blue LEDs. The micro-current systemtreats and stimulates the skin and accelerates skin metabolism. Thevibrating massage system may be used with eye cream and provide anincreased absorption of eye cream. The warming system also helps topicalproducts (serums, creams, and moisturizers) penetrate into at least 0.1μm into the skin, alternatively, penetrate deeply into the skin, whichleads to an increase between about 100% and 5000% in the absorption oftopical products. In one embodiment, the 90° rotation of the headportion with respect to the handle portion adapt to different parts ofthe skin and body, such as the eye area and the lip area, as well as theentire face and neck skin.

In one embodiment, the vibration motor 350 is attached to the bottomside of the head circuit board 200 and seated within the head housing230. The handle portion 110 of the device contains the power source 130and the handle circuit board 150 that contains a micro current generator362, a battery charging circuit 132, and an impedance power switchfunction 151. The micro-current system produces an AC current betweenabout 100 μA and about 600 μA and at 8.3 Hz or 10 Hz, according oneembodiment. The direct current is pulsed at a frequency between about0.1 and about 680 Hz with a current range between about 300 and about600 μA for skin toning and softening fine lines and facial microliftingas described below. The microcurrent includes at least two points ofcontact on the skin and area in between these two contact points istrained with microcurrent, resulting in wrinkle reduction. In oneembodiment, the frequency includes a first frequency at first timeperiod and a second frequency at a second time period, wherein the firstfrequency and the second frequency is between about 0.1 Hz and 680 Hz.In another embodiment, the signal includes 10 positive pulses and 10negative pulses following the positive pulses with a frequency at 8.3pulses per second.

As shown in FIGS. 13A-13B, the motor 350 includes two electricalcouplings 354 and 356. The vibration motor vibrates at a rate betweenabout 200 and about 30000 microvibrations per minute, according to oneembodiment. Vibration helps promote blood circulation, which reduces theappearance of dull skin within at least one hour or at least one dayafter application. It can help visibly reduce the appearance of darkcircles and redness after at least hour of treatment or after at leastone day of treatment. Application periods for rejuvenating the skin canrange from one day to about 3 weeks, from about 1 time a day to about 5times per day.

FIGS. 14A-14C are schematic diagrams of the handle circuit board, thehead circuit board, and the smart touch circuit. The handle circuitboard and the head circuit board are printed circuit boards (PCB), whichis a laminated sandwich structure of conductive and insulating layers.PCB s affix electronic components in designated locations on the outerlayers by means of soldering and PCBs provide reliable electricalconnections (and also reliable open circuits) between the component'sterminals in a controlled manner often referred to as PCB design. FIGS.14A-14C are schematic diagrams of the handle circuit board, the headcircuit board, which consists of component symbols connected by lines.The symbols represent basic passive components such as resistors orcapacitors to sophisticated integrated circuits such as microcontrollersand on/off switches, and the lines represent conductive pathways thatallow electrical current to flow freely from one portion of the circuitto another.

Optical spectral and intensity analysis were performed on the Electronicskin rejuvenating device Wand. The Electronic skin rejuvenating devicecomprises a plurality of LED's installed in the center of the headcircuit board 190, as shown in FIG. 3A. In one embodiment, all of theLED's are turned on and they stay on as long as the user is holding thehandle portion. In one embodiment a minimum of about 5 LED's areincluded, alternatively, between about 4 and about 50 LED's are includedin the head portion. Optical Spectral Analysis was achieved by using aDiffraction Grating Spectrometer, as shown in FIG. 15A, with a digitalUSB camera at mounted at the viewport. The optical wavelength of theElectronic skin rejuvenating device measures about 660 nm (peakwavelength) and/or 415 nm (peak wavelength) in the Blue LightWavelength.

The broad fuzzy appearance of the light sampled from the two units isdue to the fact that the LED's do not emit coherent light and thereforeare slightly broad banded. The intensity of the optical energy from bothsamples was measure using a calibrated Newport 818-SL silicon opticalsensor and associated Model 815 display meter 310, as shown in FIG. 15B.Using the calibration data in the manual for the sensor and wavelengthbeing measured, the measurement of the optical power being emitted fromthe head portion is about 0.4 uW or microwatts. The optical powerenables the red light to penetrate the skin at least 0.1 mm.

As shown in FIG. 3A, the head portion 120 comprises a plurality of mountresistors 340 that are operable within the warming system 340. In oneembodiment, the plurality of surface mount resistors are about 750 ohmand about ½ watt, and include between about 1 and about 5 surface mountresistors. The surface mount resistors 340 mounted on the head circuitboard 200, which may be a printed circuit board (PCB), and one surfacemount resistor 340 is mounted in each corner of the head circuit board200. Each surface mount resistor is separated by a distance of at leastabout 2 mm, at least about 3 mm, or at least about 5 mm. The foursurface mount resistors deliver a Therapeutic Heat that is between about38° C. to about 42° C. or between about 95 degrees Fahrenheit and about110 degrees Fahrenheit. By placing the head portion against the skin,the skin absorbs much of the heat generated by the surface mountresistors and the Therapeutic Heat settles to about 100 degrees.Therapeutic Heat promotes local blood circulation or vasodilation, whichhelps improve the appearance of the skin, and help topical skincareproducts be delivered more efficiently into the skin.

The Electronic skin rejuvenating device provides Micro-currentElectrical Neuromuscular Stimulation in a synergistic fashion with thelight therapy system 330, the warming system 340, the vibrating massagesystem 350, and the microcurrent therapy system 360. The synergy appliesto the skin therapy treatment, since the combination of the lighttherapy system 330, the warming system 340, the vibrating massage system350, and the microcurrent therapy system 160 are greater than the sum ofdelivering each system to the skin for treatment of a condition. TheElectronic skin rejuvenating device design provide levels ofMicro-current Electrical Neuromuscular Stimulation under the rightconditions. Microcurrent system comprises a much smaller form factorthan other prior art devices. The form factor is about 50% smaller thanother prior art devices. The operating mode of the Electronic skinrejuvenating device includes a range of energy and a range of currentper setting and optionally including a button that increases intensitylevels.

The Electronic skin rejuvenating device provides a Micro-currentElectrical Neuromuscular Stimulation dependent or independent on theuser. The Electronic skin rejuvenating device supports the delivery ofmicrocurrent despite apparent anodization of the metal case. Using aTektronix Oscilloscope and probe, the Electronic skin rejuvenatingdevice was forced to turn on by touching the handle and head at the sametime. Using binder clips, an oscilloscope probe was connected to thehead and the handle and that measurement was captured in FIG. 16 .

As shown in FIG. 16 , the Electronic skin rejuvenating device emits anirregular square wave at an unloaded amplitude of about 47.2 volts peak320 to peak 320. In one embodiment, the waveform is selected from thegroup consisting of: Sawtooth, Reverse sawtooth, Perfect sine wave, andTriangle wave. These waveforms will not be constant and will increaseand decrease depending on the wave. This alternating waveform reducesthe sensation some may get running microcurrent on high intensities.These waveforms cause no shock, but a gentler increase of the current,which leads to a better experience for the patient. Switching theoscilloscope to the DC mode, the waveform produced continued to be AC innature indicating the waveform is AC capacitively coupled from thegenerating electronics, which is a safe DC user exposure parameter forthe user.

In one embodiment, a long positive pulse on the head portion attract allthe negative ion dirt clutter on patients face. The patient then cleanstheir face or wipes the dirt. The patient then applies a serum to theirface which contains positive ions. The Electronic skin rejuvenatingdevice would then be placed on the face again and produces a longnegative pulse, pushing these negative ions in the skin. The averageimpedance or resistance of the tissue pathway from a handheld instrumentto the surface of the head portion can vary. In one embodiment, theaverage impedance or resistance of the tissue pathway from a handheldinstrument to the surface of the head may be in the many hundreds ofthousands of ohms to megohms.

A person whose body moisture content is very low, may not receive arelative amount of useful current to the underlying derma. Therefore, inone embodiment, the user uses a conductive serum or gel in conjunctionwith the wand to benefit from the microcurrent stimulation. A minimumconductive serum includes a base of at least between about 0.1% and 5%aloe vera base.

In another embodiment, if the users' skin and body conform to the wellhydrated, low resistance (Moist skin) condition, the Electronic skinrejuvenating device administers a minimum 300 μA of AC current at about10 Hz. The microcurrent can penetrate the skin at least 0.1 mm. Abaseline skin hydration includes measurement by a skin moistureanalyzer. Skin moisture analyzers are portable devices that can testvarious skin factors using something called bioelectric impedanceanalysis (BIA). Two probes on the end of these small, stick-like gadgetsuse BIA technology to pass a painless electric current from one sensorthrough the skin to another.

The method of using the Electronic skin rejuvenating device comprisesapplying the microcurrent of about 300 μA or more as to increase theamount of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) within the cells of a muscle. Themethod of applying the microcurrent of 300 μA or more to the skin andunderlying muscle of a subject causes an increase in mitochondria andprotein synthesis in the muscle, an increase in aminoisobutyric aciduptake, an increase in protein synthesis and Gluconeogenesis(biosynthesis of new glucose) and a 300-500% increase in ATP (Adenosinetriphosphate) levels. These dramatic increases in cellular ATP levelshave been shown to help muscles retain a re-educated form for longerperiods of time and provide muscle toning treatments for the skin.However, for these benefits to be appreciable it is necessary to for themuscle to be manipulated (for example by extending or compressing themuscle) whilst the microcurrent treatment is taking place. A minimumpressure of at least about 0.1 and about 10.0 PSI may be applied. Themethod of using the Electronic skin rejuvenating device furthercomprises applying a vibrating massage system to manipulate the skin andmuscle so that the muscle is forced into a desired form forre-education. Vibrating Massage system includes vibration energy, whichoffers a massage to the skin and helps rejuvenate skin and promote localblood circulation.

The method of using the Electronic skin rejuvenating device comprisesapplying a red light therapy to treat the skin. Red light boosts theenergy of the skin cells, allowing the skin cells to work harder andfaster on regenerating and healing.
